ReplyDeletework.
judy
great news for the group.
ReplyDeleteFirst- We now have a working mulcher. The mulcher was donated by Jesse and Peter and given an overhaul by WHHG. It is now available for use by the group. We will just need to work out the guidelines for its borrowing and use.
Second - we have received a grant from the Fed. Gov. of $2,100 to buy community owned pruning and other garden tools. When we get the actual money we can start to make up a wish list. There will some limits to what we buy inline with the grant application of course. See you at the garden tour/AGM tomorrow Judy
